Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! I will reiterate the policy and =
add some kind of consequence, such as receiving a zero on the tRAT, for vio=

Subject: Re: RATs, talking and cell phone use
I state the rules at the begining of the course ...
I do most things (iRAT/gRATs/etc) with paper :)
Then, for the iRATs (in a class of 120 or so students), I make a very visi=
ble show of ripping up the iRAT of the first person to break the rules.
Likewise with the gRATs.
Teams then seem to do a good job of policing things.
Doing it once seems to be sufficient. Normally, the way marks are split bet=
ween iRATs, gRATS, applications exercises, and so on, loosing a single iRAT=
or gRAT doesn't really change their final grades.
During application exercises, if they use technology that is fine. If they'=
re playing games on their phone that's fine too ... I just happen to mentio=
n to the rest of the team that they seem to be doing all the work and no do=
ubt it will 'play out' during the peer evaluations.
Kind regards
Peter

Kristina,
I don't allow the use of electronic devices AT ANY TIME during my classes. =
If you have problems with students who can't resist the temptation even th=
ough you've made this a condition for participation in your class, then you=
can take it from them and have them pick it up after class.

Good afternoon,
I am having some issues with talking and cell phone/electronic device use d=
uring RATs. I teach large classes (70 and 200 students), so management has=
become an issue. These are the specific issues I'm having:
1) Talking and electronic device use by students who have finished the iR=
AT while other students are still completing their iRATs.
2) Electronic device use during tRATs.
Number One bothers me because students could be looking up answers on their=
devices, but also because the talking interferes with the ability of the r=
emaining students to finish their iRATs. If most of the class is done it c=
an get quite loud. No matter how many times I ask them to be quiet, this c=
ontinues to be an issue. I don't have this problem at any other time durin=
g class (for example, during class discussions or when I lecture).
Students are also using their electronic devices during tRATs. In most cas=
es, I think they are texting or goofing off, but obviously, in large classe=
s like this, it's impossible to tell. I have told them not to talk and to =
put their devices away, but they do it anyway. In my 70 person class, betw=
een my TA and I, we can keep a fairly good handle on it, by asking students=
to put away their device if we see them using it, but in a class of 200 th=
is is impossible. I'm considering implementing some kind of punishment - f=
or example, students caught using devices before the end of the tRAT will r=
eceive a zero, or even the whole team will receive a zero, but I also feel =
this may be too harsh. How have others handled this problem?
Best,
Kristina

</div> <div>I am having some issues with talking and cell phone/electronic
device = use during RATs. I teach large classes (70 and 200 students),

<div>1) Talking and electronic device use by students who have finis=

<div><br> </div>
<div>2) Electronic device use during tRATs.</div> <div><br> </div>
<div>Number One bothers me because students could be looking up answers on =
their devices, but also because the talking interferes with the ability of =
the remaining students to finish their iRATs. If most of the class is=
done it can get quite loud. No matter how many times I ask them to be
quiet, this continues to be an issue. &nbs= p;I don't have this problem at
any other time during class (for example, du= ring class discussions or when
I lecture). </div> <div><br> </div> <div>Students are also using their
electronic devices during tRATs. I= n most cases, I think they are
texting or goofing off, but obviously, in la= rge classes like this, it's
impossible to tell. I have told them not = to talk and to put their
devices away, but they do it anyway. In my 70 person class, between
my TA and I, we ca= n keep a fairly good handle on it, by asking students to
put away their dev= ice if we see them using it, but in a class of 200 this
is impossible. &nbs= p;I'm considering implementing some kind of punishment
- for example, students caught using devices before the end of = the tRAT
will receive a zero, or even the whole team will receive a zero, b= ut I
also feel this may be too harsh. How have others handled this pr=
oblem?</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Best,</div> <div><br> </div>
